The Leviathan’s Fang Rod stands out as one of the best fishing rods in Fisch’s Mariana’s Veil expansion due to its high lure speed and luck. Designed to tackle the formidable Scylla, this rod offers unique attributes that make it one of the decent choices for anglers, however, its low base resilience and control will need to be worked on.
How to Get the Leviathan’s Fang Rod
To get this rod, players must reach the Veil of the Forsaken, which is the deepest region within Mariana’s Veil. Accessing this area requires a series of steps:
Submarine Construction: Begin by completing Dr. Glimmerfin’s quest, which involves mining obsidian and gathering five submarine parts. Once assembled, the submarine helps you access the deeper regions of Mariana’s Veil.
Keep Descending: Navigate through the Volcanic Vents, Challenger’s Deep, and Abyssal Zenith. Each area includes unique resources essential for upgrading your submarine. You can also complete bestiaries at these locations for more C$.
Fighting Scylla: Within the Calm Zone, solve the chess puzzle to unlock the path to Scylla’s lair. Defeating this boss is a requirement to accessing the Veil of the Forsaken.
After defeating Scylla, the Veil of the Forsaken becomes fully accessible for fishing and the Leviathan’s Fang Rod can be purchased near the entrance for 1,000,000 C$. Ensure you have sufficient C$ before starting these quests.
Rod Specs:
The Leviathan’s Fang Rod boasts impressive stats tailored for high-stakes fishing encounters:
- Lure Speed: 70%
- Luck: 180%
- Control: 0.1
- Resilience: 5%
- Maximum Weight Capacity: Infinite
A standout feature is its passive ability, which allows the rod to pierce through the defenses of sea creatures, making it particularly effective against bosses like Scylla. Plus, when engaging Scylla, the rod provides an additional +50% Resilience, taking the rod’s resilience to 55% which is great.
Here are some of the enchantments that can enhance the performance of the rod:
- Resilient or Mystical: Compensates for the rod’s poor base resilience, helping against fish that have erratic movement on the fishing bar.
- Quality: Offers an overall stat boost, enhancing all aspects of the rod’s performance.
- Controlled: Increases the control stat, allowing for more precise handling of rare catches.
- Abyssal or Quantum: Best to earn money through fishing, especially since the rod lacks a mutation passive.
